Nice Replacement Remote

 

Nice Replacement Remote

We bought this one to use in our bedroom to watch tv in the dark. It works as promised. It does feel more sturdy than the original remote. The button layout is also a little different, but it is easy to adjust to this. So far, I am happy with this...

This remote is great so far. I have not really had it long enough to know if the battery life is shorter due to the lighted keys as other reviews have said. The only problem was programming it. I had to call tivo for help, it took a few tries to get it...

It Glows!

 

It Glows!

Loves: glows, since it's white it's easier to find in the dark, I can tell it apart from my other various Tivo remotes. Durable so far, have already dropped it once and no problems. Feels like some quality went into this remote (Tivo remotes look so...

After three years with the old one (lost to the dog) I had no idea Tivo could actually improve on that impressive remote. This thing is pure genius. The buttons are just a little different, in a subtle but brilliant way that you will wish you thought...

This remote is amazing!!!

How TiVo created a remote better then the original I will never know. Great build quality (hard plastic) and texture on the bottom of the remote. The programming features are easy to use as TiVo was able to learn my tv and stereo receiver without a...

Wish I'd replaced the original remote sooner

This is a great remote -- yes, it's pricey but it's so much better than the original Tivo remote. I love the feel of the buttons and I took another reviewers advice and got the white instead of the black, which makes it much easier to find in the seat...
